Hi Monks!
I have a subroutine which gets a path to a script and content, creates the file and adds the content into the script. The code: 
sub create_script {
    my ($script_path,$content) = @_;
    open(my $fh, '>', "$script_path") or die "Could not open script";
    print $fh "set -x\n";
    print $fh $content;
    close($fh);
}

It's a bash script and I need to give it exec permissions, the same result as I get from chmod a+x script.sh. I could not figure a straightforward way to do this but I might miss it. For example, you can't pass it to the open sub. Also I came across with chmod but you need to pass a value (like 0777), instead of a+x and as I understand, it's not the same thing. Furthermore, I could just do `chmod a+x script.sh` right after creating the file, but I prefer a more of a perl-way. Is it possible to suggest a way?
